New Wall Escapes


The snow coincided with the peak time for daily commuter traffic, an interesting test for the new road cambering on the Piper House bend. The expensive new wall built by Highways Dept was still unharmed at 9.15 this morning. But a vehicle which looked like a 4x4 had left the road and punctured the fence and old wall a few yards to the west on the same bend.Its rear end was stuck up in the air. Can one reach a conclusion that it was another example of driving too fast, something the recent roadworks has done nothing to discourage?
The picture shows one of Blacka's many alders, a mass of catkins at the moment.
